Chapter 1130: Weird Harmony
Weird Harmony . . .
"What is wrong with the world..." Han Bingxue sighed. His attire was as white as snow, and his gaze seemed melancholic. "I am such a handsome, generous, outstanding, charming, and imposing young lord... yet I am here alone with the food and drinks all to myself... Where is justice..."
...
The liquor was of high quality.
The cuisine was exquisite.
For some, it was the first time they sat together at the same table to enjoy the same food and drinks.
Even though they had all planned to dine together, they still felt somewhat uneasy in each other's presence.
If Cha Clan hadn't hosted this banquet, Li Yunxuan from Misty Cloud Palace might never have had the opportunity to share a meal with Yue Shuang and Yue Han from Qiong-Hua Palace.
She wasn't previously qualified for such an occasion.
Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were in similar positions.
They held almost equal standing in the martial world, and their power was nearly identical. But there was one key difference: they were men, while the two sisters were women.
The atmosphere around the table was heavy with a sense of caution. Every word spoken was measured and careful. Sensitive topics were avoided, such as the reasons behind the sisters' change of heart or the motives behind their actions.
However, after the dinner, because of the sisters' behavior, those present began to question whether they were truly Shuang and Han of Qiong-Hua Palace. It was an odd feeling.
The two ladies were anything but frosty, aloof, or distant. Surprisingly, they behaved like two young girls who had just entered society.
In the eyes of all the superior cultivators in the Qing-Yun Realm, the two ladies were known for their purity, indifference, and lack of concern for the martial world's affairs. They cared little for the world's rules, notions of right and wrong, and questions of justice or injustice. This stemmed from several factors: their seclusion in Qiong-Hua Palace, their disinterest in external matters, and the martial arts they practiced.
Despite their world-altering power, they remained pure of heart.
Their conduct at the dinner table came as a shock to everyone, opening their eyes to a new side of the two ladies.
"This one! It's delicious," Yue Shuang half-closed her eyes as she picked up a piece of sugar-lotus with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her eyes gleaming with delight. She followed it with another piece and then a third, savoring the taste.
"It's truly delicious!" Yue Han said after trying a piece. She appeared equally satisfied.
"Aren't you going to try one?" Yue Shuang looked at Cha Eun Xiao, who sat between the two sisters, her eyes filled with affection and a sweet infatuation. "Come on, give it a try."
She then picked up a piece for Cha Eun Xiao.
Zhan Yunfei, Zhu Jiutian, and the others were taken aback.
"Excellent choice! It really is delicious," Cha Eun Xiao exclaimed as he chewed heartily. "It's sweet but not too heavy, and it actually helps cleanse the palate after eating the meat. The lotus pairs perfectly with the meat of the Land Dragon, which is also quite tasty. You should try it."
Cha Nantian's mouth twitched, and his expression froze. He stared at Cha Eun Xiao as if he were looking at a deity.
He was on the verge of scolding him.
"You fool!"
"The lady placed it on your plate out of kindness, not with any other intentions..."
"You're a man! How could you use your own chopsticks to pick up food for the ladies?"
"And you did it for two ladies simultaneously!"
"Weren't you just asking for trouble?"
"What if they're meticulous about hygiene? What if they dislike your chopsticks and become upset..."
"Do you really think this is some rare occurrence?"
"It could turn into a disaster..."
"Can't you see the shared chopsticks? You don't even know table manners! This is embarrassing!"
"According to the story about the two ladies, they are very likely neat freaks!"
"This is going to end terribly!"
"No, I can't just sit and watch. A father should take responsibility for what his son has done. Well, what should I do... This is a problem!"
However, before Cha Nantian figured out what to do, Yue Shuang picked up the piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth without hesitation. As she chewed vigorously, she praised, "It's chewy! It tastes like the cowbells we used to eat when we were kids..."
"That's true! It is chewy indeed! Delicious!" Yue Han was chewing the meat in her mouth too. She appeared satisfied. "Excellent taste!"
"Two more for you then! We should always feel free to eat when we are sitting with our families. Just don't stop until you truly can't eat anymore." Cha Eun Xiao smiled warmly and then put two pieces into each of the ladies' plates.
Everyone was shocked as they watched Cha Eun Xiao. He ignored the shared chopsticks and used his own to pick the food for the two ladies. After a while, the ladies' plates were filled with different kinds of food.
The ladies didn't find anything wrong at all. They continued to put different cuisines into their mouths, but they only ate those on their plates and ignored all the other food on the table. They looked satisfied and happy.
The others were left bewildered once again!
"Just eat more if you feel like it. I think you two are too skinny..." Cha Eun Xiao smiled. "Girls should stay in good shape, but not too much. It's always better to be a little bit overweight."
Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were terrified. "Holy sh*t! Little brother! You are too young and naive indeed! How could you mention that word which would definitely offend all female cultivators?"
"There are some common weaknesses of women. Words like overweight, fat, ugly... are never allowed to be mentioned! You have just offended the ladies deadly! You are asking for death!"
However, what happened next astonished them! They were totally stunned!
"We are in perfect shape! We don't want to be overweight!" The two ladies rolled their eyes at the same time to disagree. However, that was all they did. They just kept eating the food in their plates after responding with a few words.
"Urh..." Cha Nantian raised his liquor bowl in the air and stayed still. He was apparently shocked. Then he grumbled, "Please... Please..."
Nobody knew what he was asking!
Zhu Jiutian raised his bowl and tried to drink the liquor...
– Puff! –
He poured the liquor into his nose instead!
